I hunt for the thrill and the excitement that comes from being outdoors and experiencing nature. I like all hunting wether it is for rabbits or for a trophy whitetail. I especially like the things I see that I'm not expecting, such as an owl trying to take a squirrel away from a hawk that just killed it in front of my stand. I have different kinds of hunts and they are all enjoyable for me. It could be a leisurly rabbit hunt with my son or it could be a serious trophy whitetail hunt. I compete against no one. I hunt big bucks to test my knowledge and skills. I like big, mature bucks, I'm not going to lie. Is it about the antlers? Not really, I like the challenge of seeing bucks like that, getting one is just a bounus. Big antlers is a side effect of a deer getting old. Old deer are hard to see let alone hunt. Now through in the act of hunting an individual old, matutre buck. Wether I get him or not, the stories will be the same... excited admiration for such a majestic animal. Every time I step into the field, its like x-mas morning for me, I never know what I'm going to find.
